Be The Best Or They Judge You

(Be the best or they will judge you)

Breaking the back to make good music
Smile for the camera, idiot!
Always be on top
Break records, be revolutionary

Everything I've ever heard
It's a pressure that kills slowly
And when everything explodes they blame it on you

Be the best or they judge you
The industry is a battlefield
It's sing or die
I wish I could wake up invisible
Would the pressure be lower?
Or was I just trying to escape the guilt of being insufficient?
Maybe that's what I've always been
Maybe I'm not the best
Best (be the best) best (be the best)

Maybe this is my mind creating things I want to believe
Usually I feel like a mintomaniac
Crying for rooms in my head
Creating scenarios where I'm the star of the show
Coming out once again in the newspaper
Your music is tiring and horrible
Another glass of wine
I think I'm going to sink

Be the best or they judge you
The industry is a battlefield
It's sing or die
I wish I could wake up invisible
Would the pressure be lower?
Or was I just trying to escape the guilt of being insufficient?
Maybe that's what I've always been
Maybe I'm not the best
Best (be the best) best (be the best)

Lying to myself
My friends cry for me
I'm the worst thing at this party
Perfect bodies and voices that hypnotize
Tell me I'll be the center
Drunk at the entrance
Crying for the things I endured in silence
Writing empty songs just because they say that about me
A part of me will never be the same

Be the best or they judge you
The industry is a battlefield
It's sing or die
I wish I could wake up invisible
Would the pressure be lower?
Or was I just trying to escape the guilt of being insufficient?
Maybe that's what I've always been
Maybe I'm not the best
Best (be the best) best (be the best)
